Abstract
The response of an organism to environmental stimulation is largely dependent upon the potential consequences of the stimuli on the organism’s well being. If the stimulation is not associated with either alimentary or aversive consequences, then habituation should occur without the organism experiencing any adverse effects. However, when stimulation threatens biological equilibrium, then adaptive mechanisms need to be called upon in order to resurrect the original state of affairs. As suggested by Barry and Buckley (1966), the term stress should be considered as stimulation that requires behavioral and/or physiological adjustments.
